Name of the Transformers 3 Ferrari is...

Hasbro released a bunch of official images from the Transformers: Dark of the Moon toys. One of them accidently revealed one of the bigger secrets Transfans has been trying to work out. As the images below show, the red Ferrari 458 Italia is named Mirage. It is too early to tell if he sports any homage to the G1 character but the change from blue to red color scheme is clearly not one of them. Now all that is left is the names of the rest of the Decepticons and the Einstein character (my guess is Wheeljack).

really digging the look of that scan series deluxe ironhide. i mean even though this is a repaint it's the fact that they used both the clear plastic and paint apps that makes this figure just bad ass all around putting this next to my other ironhide when i see it =D

I was thinking this might actually be a new autobot. Can't wait to see his robot form in al of its CGI glory.I'm really interested to see how many "named" decepticons there will be...I'm expecting Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream, Soundwave, Lazerbeak, Crankcase and a bunch of drones or repaints.

Winton Ray, I totally agree with you, except I don't think Crankcase will be named in the movie. Maybe that big rotating thing will have a name? Or that large decepticon(I suppose) that tilts the building with Sam in it.

Regarding "Big Hoss" (witch is obviously not a movie character), why is he part of a stealth force?"OK, we need stealth on this mission. Lets call up.......a monster truck?"

Wheelie, Brains and Wheeljack. What if Wheeljack gets wrecked and when he's rebuilt, Wheelie and Brains will become his partners and make Wheeljack a Headmaster. There has already been Pretenders in ROTF, so why not to have even one Headmaster in DOTM?

I just love how they get a Corvette and call it Sideswipe,then get a blue race car and call it Topspin, and then get a red Ferrari and call it Mirage. Corvette Sideswipe acts like Tracks so why not call him Tracks. Then its like oh sh*t we got the rights to use a red Ferrari but can't call it Sideswipe now so we'll call it Mirage even though we have a blue racecar in the movie already that we are calling Topspin (traditionally a futuristic boat plane). Im waiting for a boatplane transformers called Tracks. Thats my next guess for a transformer in DOTM.

Not to Piss people off but what is hasbro thinking with tf prime and renegades?I followed both since day 1 now i'm done Renegades looks like a 5 year old drew it and prime should be called TRANSVESTITEFORMERS i.e. Starscream

MMmhh i dunno if the blu Mercedes is infact Wheeljackhttp://www.seibertron.com/images/misc/uploads/1301580344_looks%20the%20same.jpgIn this page of Rising Storm there is Mirage(Ferrari) and also Wheeljack!!But he's totally different than the "Einstein-Bot"So probably Wheeljack is not in DOTM.Could be the "Einstein-bot" PERCEPTOR? He's a scientist as well

Michael Bay said this on his site:"Mercedes would never let us make their car into a bad Decepticon. Car company's really frown on that - I can't say what the game company and comics do that's their own thing. They don't have the same constraints movies do. It's Carly's car."

Personally I cant see it being Mirage its to much of a change I mean cmon from blue to red seems kinda odd :s the way the story is going from my Point of view i still think and hoping it to Be hotrod!!!!

Till it is confirmed by by/nelson i'am taking this with a pinch of salt sorry :(
